What it is and who needs it.
What the cigarette stamps bond actually covers
Ohio wholesale cigarette dealers buy tax stamps to affix to each pack, and the state lets qualifying dealers buy those stamps on credit. Under ORC 5743.05 the tax commissioner can require a surety bond standing behind that credit — so the tax on every stamp is guaranteed even if a dealer fails to pay.
A bond is generally required when a dealer has not been in good credit standing with the state for five consecutive years before the purchase, or when a dealer otherwise doesn't pay for stamps on time. When required, the commissioner sets the amount and the form.
The bond stays in place until the Department of Taxation releases it. We issue the amount the commissioner set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the form the state names — and re-issue if your required amount changes.
